Wow- triple bypass! My dad wants to retire to Quito but he's had heart surgery as well so we're apprehensive. I'm actually looking at La Paz, Bolivia as well as others (like Quito) so altitude is not a problem for me.
The only school in the DR that seems to pay really well is Carol Morgan in SD, but I've been searching for others. If you know of anyone who has more detailed info., let me know. I've looked at Santiago Christian School, St. Michael's, St. George's, Ashton School (Santo Domingo), and Cap Cana Heritage School from a thread I found on dr1 that provides an awesome list. Money isn't the only motivator for me, but I'm not about to leave where I am without some pretty careful considerations.
